Mikhayl,

That looks great!

I did some more history research and now I have six scripted events for the manned torpedoes. All between 1942 and 1943.

Very cool stuff.

If time permits, I'm thinking of doing up an Orders executable program in Macromedia Director that will issue mission assignments with consideration to the scripted events in the near future...

For example, if you started a mission at La Spezia between 15 July 1943 and 25 July 1943, you would be ordered to rendevous with the Italian Ship Olterra off the coast of Spain on the night of 1 August 1943 and provide security for the Olterra as she deploys to Gibralter. While protecting Olterra submerged on the night of 3 August 1943, you'ld get to witness her deploy three maile on their way to attack ships in Gibralter harbor.

Other mission assignments might simply be patrolling certain grids, knowing that the invasion of Sicily will be starting soon...basically putting the player close to the action, but not totally giving it away. (There's nothing more frustrating than patrolling a dead grid several hundreds of kilometers from the action!)
